Number One

Order pickup or delivery from this neighborhood spot, where kitchen work happens in plain view, from shrimp peeled at the counter to handmade cheese wantons filled with crab. While regulars rate the food highly when prepared right, online ordering glitches can occur—such as pineapple fried rice arriving as plain white rice. For takeout, packing fried items in a separate parchment bag keeps them crisp on the way home rather than steaming inside the container.
